Creepy existential dystopian science fiction
The final twist to this epic dystopian science fiction actually made me physically gasp.

Ubik has so many layers, it may take several reads to understand all the different facets - either way it is fascinating, claustophic, terrifying and intriguing all at the same time. Is Ubik supposed to be a version of God? That is the question. While there are hundreds of loose ends, it is made to be discussed and debated until there are no words left.

I can see why it's still a classic originally published in 1969.

fantastic read
This is the third book in this series by this author. These book can be read as stand alone reads. This is one of those books that suck you in from the first page then leaves you with a book hangover when you're finished. This is a well written amazing story, which is fun, sweet and sexy. Amazing well written characters with intense chemistry between them. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended

This book is incredibly thick and took a long time to read; and was worth every second. This incredible story, steeped in fact, is engaging, exhilarating and heart wrenching. The characters are defined, realistic and believable, as are the circumstances of their lives and situations. To be able to immerse ourselves in what happens to these kids in countries where terrorist groups abound and are as well known as the locals is amazing and important. This “true story”, which reads like a novel, is timely, smart and a must read!

This is not my usual genre of reads but I did enjoy it. This is the 12th book in this series. This book can be read as a stand alone but as the stories and characters are interwoven it would be better to read in order. This is definitely a hot and steamy read. This is a well written story with fantastic characters. I can't wait to read more from this author just in a different genre.

A couple of these I have read for the authors before but a lot of these were new reads for me. I loved all these authors. They are amazing writers, the stories were so much fun to read. I loved the problems that they had.. the love that was found.. and of course all the paranormal beings in the stories. Totally amazing box set and I am so glad I got this from the authors for a read/review. I will recommend this set to all my friends

Everything this woman writes is gold. I am 21 years old and I love her books with a passion even though they are only meant for children. Something about the way she writes just enraptures me to the point that I must finish the book. Her novels are quick reads, but they keep you interested, even with their simplicity. There are no drastic twists in the straight forward plot and it tends to be a bit predictable. But her characters are very real in their actions, thoughts, and reactions to situations.

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

I loved this book!! It is heavily influenced by Sherlock Holmes (whom I love). Fans of Sherlock and classic detective books will love this book.

I love how short & sweet this book is, yet it is able to fit the full story in. Also, I am a big fan of books with short chapters. For some reason, it makes me read them faster, haha.

The plot and two main characters felt real.

I'll definitely be reading more of this author and this series. =)

I received this book for free through GoodReads First Reads. I read the summary of this book and knew I had to read it! I absolutely loved it, and I can not fault it all. The plot will leaving you hanging on the edge of your seat (or bed as I always read in bed, lol). The characters are so well developed. I felt as if I was actually part of the story. I would recommend this book to anyone no matter what genre you like. You won't be disappointed.
